Founded in 1775[1], the Army is the oldest branch in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

U.S. Army ranks and insignias are divided into three categories: enlisted personnel (E-1 through E-9), warrant officers (W-1 through CW-5) and commissioned officers (O-1 through O-10). 

A service member’s rank and insignia indicate their pay grade, as well as the level of responsibility they should hold.

Enlisted personnel are further divided into junior enlisted, non-commissioned officers and senior NCOs.

Newly enlisted service members begin their Army careers as Privates. They participate in basic combat training, or boot camp, to learn the basic skills and the culture of the Army. They do not wear insignia.
